- Many expected the Skoda Slavia and the Volkswagen Virtus to be identical Twins just like the Rapid and the Vento but all of them were proven to be absolutely wrong. Yes they are based on the same platform and even share engines but apart from that they promise to deliver a very different experience thanks to their different personalities. In fact without even driving the Virtus we found 10 things that it does differently as compared to the Skoda Slavia.
The VW Virtus will launch in May 2022 and expected to be priced in between Rs 11.5-18 lakh ex-showroom

Virtus is more appealing.i would have loved Slavia in virtus design.those rear lights are straight out of Aventador 😱🔥
Considering exterior... Slavia looks more premium....
Just SKODA badge enough to show it's a premium car
Slavia front + Virtus back = 🔥
agree
🤑
Skoda is much more sophisticated and good looking
Slavia looks much better and up to date
VW not giving a manual transmission in the 1.5 made me lose all interest in the Virtus.
Same here bro😢
@@BlackSwordsman16 kind of a brain dead decision if you ask me
Its there brother…
@@TheSiddhantp Apparently not. Confirmed in TeamBHP forums by someone who knows VW people.
Yeah, no manual in the 1.5L variant. Only DSG. I was waiting for that so badly. Now I'll just go ahead with Slavia 1.5 manual
I'm getting my Slavia next week. Both Virtus and Slavia looks good but there are some bits in slavia where it needs to be improved. In Slavia, Black inserts on the front bumper and grille looks like piano black only in white and red colors. It does look like matte black in carbon steel . Where as it looks premium in Virtus. Then the ambient lighting strip is visible and looks flimsy in Slavia's dashboard. AC vents in Virtus looks a bit outdated as well.
It's really a good choice... M really happy you have gone against the trend and resisted to buy a SUV. Driving dynamics of sedan are unmatched. Lots of Wishes for ur new drive.
Hi @vysakhprabhakar
How has your journey been with slavia. Is it worth the price?
@@deveshjoshi8325 I took Style 1.0L MT @16.4L OTR and its been a good experience so far. Clocked 16K kms in 14 months. Took 4 yrs service package . Servicing has also been hassle free. Satisfied with the ride and handling , dynamics and fuel efficiency. Few negatives which i felt was interior fit and finish compared to old gen VW and Skoda .. then the rear seat comfort of slavia is not as good as compared to Honda city for long trips. GC of 179mm gives you confidence to ride on bad roads but the rear seat passengers might feel slighty wallowy in twisty roads. I might lower the suspension a bit... as many options are available now. Overall it's a good package.
Do you feel rattling noice in the dashboard ??
VW Virtus will be the winner for 2022. We don't buy sedan these days bcz of ground clearance but now we don't see any problem with 170mm+ ground clearance. Sedan always comfortable compare to any SUVs..Skoda on the other side still not given a super name in market like VW did with Polo.
People realised ground clereance now a days back when maruti800,fiat padmani,ambassdor,contessa,esteem people buy even now people buy hatchback with low gc🤣🤣🤣
@@varuntomer1725 Good to see your comment.."people buy hatchback with low gc🤣🤣🤣"
Driven both Virtus was smooth and interior s of Virtus better than Slavia.Front looks of slavia is lit and rear view of Virtus is lit.I booked Virtus
Beautiful comparison by Ameya of these two brothers of the same family..... Guess the Virtus wud be the sportier one with drive as the highlight of tbe car vs the slavia which wud be softer sprung for a more relaxed drive..... Eager to watch your review of the virtus soon
Thanks Zigwheels.... hope VW arrange for a media drive and we could hear how does the car drive.
Virtus is defn a looker... It looks very classy and would age gracefully.... Slavia also looks good but looks more on the face kind...
These siblings look ready to thrash the City, but I don't think Honda will easily lose it
Does the virtus have cooled seats like tje slavia? Which is the loghter car of the 2. I am asking about the 1.5 top variant from both.
Volkswagen still design the AC Vent Knob that breaks quickly.
AC vents also break easily in Vento., very flimsy
Seriously. We asked for replacing the Knobs. They said it is not easily replaceable and recommended to continue with the broken ones. None of the AC vents have the direction adjusters !
Then wtf does it mean when someone brags about german build quality?
My 8 year old 60,000 km polo still good as new nothing has broken. Never faced any issue with ac vent.
We want the sporty handling especially on the GT!
Onyx Varient of Slavia will be the real 'mid size sedan competitors SLAYER' 😉 🤞
What about the leg room for passenger seats compared both ?
Lol , no 1.5L manual variant , thank god I didn’t wait for the virtus and bought the slavia 1.5MT .
Good choice,, can you comment on city and highway milage??
Does vw virtus offer service plan and extended warranty like skoda slavia kushaq
I guess both the Skoda Slavia as well as the Volkswagen Virtus get a 6 speed Torque Convertor in 1.0L section and a DSG in 1.5L section. How can you say DCT for both of them?
Will Skoda India launch the Slavia VRS or RS ?
Skoda slavia took my heart in this comparo
Virtus delivers on both quotient as far as Sporty looks and premium feeling conscerned inside out. But Slavia looks good on the outside but interiors are flimsy. Coming to driving dynamics we don't know how virtus drives till now.
Appreciate all the differences ! But where’s Karthik?? Been missing him out for many videos!☹️
Would like to know, will it come with a 1.5L manual? The cause came across some community blog 1.5 is only available in DCT not manual?
Yeah even I saw that, hope it's not true
The VW Virtus by "virtue" of its flat bottom steering, gives better flexibility for the driver for seating and ingress-egress.
How about ground clearance?
Both are very much similar, but the VW Brand value.... that's one big plus for Virtus.
Globally maybe, but in India it's the Skoda which is the more upmarket brand . Skoda was introduced to India with the Octavia and cemented its reputation with the Superb, Skoda is still associated in the people's mind with these two cars. Volkswagen in comparison is more know for the Polo and to some extent the Vento, VW's more expensive offerings never made much of an impact in India. There was a reason Skoda was asked to lead VW's comeback in India.
@@suraj250684 true that 🤝🏻
I like the Virtus exterior better but the Slavia Interior more.
Totally agreed 💯
I'd rather just wait until Skoda reveals their Monte Carlo variant.👍
U can keep on waiting for a year then
@@anoop8610 more like 6 months😉
I am waiting for vRS😍
Same 😉
Keep waiting
Led across over all variants 👏🏻👏🏻is good move
Dude .. if the power train is the same and the body platform is the same ...the rest of the "differences" are cosmetic.
Slavia looks more premium.
Ground clearance??
Skoda has its own fan base than the VW. Comparing to the last segment Skoda Rapid has the most fan base than the VW Vento.
Virtus is Sporty and Slavia is Aggressive in its look. Anyhow both are German🔥
Kindly do a comparo between slavia and city ..😃
Volkswagen : virtus | Škoda: Slavia
Performance: 8/10.| Performance: 9/10.
Design: 5/10. | Design:8/10.
Interior: 8/10. | Interior: 7/10.
Features: 8/10. | Features:7/10.
No subwoofer on virtual??? Why?
Just saw virtus on road today testing undisguised… Trust me Savia looks much better…!!
Depends upon person to person. I have a Kushaq, never liked taigun. But loved virtus over slavia for sure
@@mrpraveen3110 True Bro...But What About Kushaq Issue?
Virtus for me
virtus looks far better
*slavia
Gt variant has clouded the judgement of journalists..no way normal virtus looks sportier
1.5 base model in taigun has manual even virtus 1.5 base model will have manual not sure about 1.5 top model
Vw looks damn good no doubt
Is it true that VW is not offering 1.5 with manual, i read this on teambhp can you confirm it??
Sadly I think it's true
I don't think so its true
Because if that was true they wouldn't mentioned manual variant during unveiling and in brochure...so its better to wait.
I don't think so because in taigun they are offering 1.5 with manual.
But not a confirmed news.
India is no more a poor country. So no need of manual transmission
VW/Skoda still doesn't have a good rear cam and adaptive guidelines. Even the hatchbacks of Hyundai has it. Why are they cutting costs on essential features.
Virtus might be premium to Slavia since it will be available globally as well.
Gloss black on bumper is not some sporty sporty. It's so difficult to maintain you can imagine.
Slavia has manual transmission for 1.5 . Which is best thing
0:14 flatform LOL
Platform bola hai bsdk
He said platform, you're dead lol 🤣
I want a car better then city in terms of rear seat comfort and handling
What about the ground clearance? Slavia rocks any other sedan or hatch backs in that segment...curious if Virtus too have such great ground clearance!!
Did you even listen to a word he said . They are both sister cars with the same chassis but different interior and exterior . They have the same ride height too
@@gurnihal12 Hold your horses,in a 6 minute long video it is ok to miss a couple of lines, could have been explained in a different tone.
@@amitrana0505 when did words explain a tone my friend . Seems like you’re really fast into making judgements. I simply asked whether you listened the video ! Btw tone is a sensory experience not a written one !
@@gurnihal12 you were rude!
@@Deepakyadav-jr3gk omg you guys are kids ! Seriously it’s an online platform , learn to not take everything as a negative “ tone “
Very nice comparison .
What wrong Škoda did is horrible base variant
Bro’ is that an Alto ?
See the handbrake area . So cheap
No rear AC
What the hell Škoda .
Just add more price and give base variant some basic layout and features
Just yesterday skoda representative told me that skoda is planning to remove sub woofer from slavia
Slavia 💥
Will cancel my Virtus booking if they make the suspension any stiffer than Slavia, the soft suspension keeps it drivable in our pothole filled roads.
Suspension in virtus is expected to be little stiffer than slavia to provide better and sportier driving and handling.
I booked slavia and test drove its 1.5 dsg, i did not like its handling, though sitting comfort is undoubtedly great due to its soft suspension.
I did not like its 1 litre torque converter as it was too quick to move in bumper bumper traffic. In normal scenario, engine braking does the job but in slavia, I had to apply brakes many times which was uncomfortable.
Slavia’s 1.5 dsg has better pick up once, you cross 2000 rpm. Below 2000 rpm, its acceleration is linear.
I put slavia booking on hold and booked virtus also. Now waiting for virtus and accordingly decide which one to buy.
Between slavia and virtus, it depends on your everyday use. If you sit at the back mostly, go for slavia or honda city and If you want driving pleasure, go for virtus.
@@tushargarg1336 I will be driving and not sitting at the back, I cancelled my Slavia booking and booked the Virtus only for its looks since mechanically both cars will be same. I currently drive the VW diesel Tiguan, I know the pros n cons of a stiffer suspension and to me who has 2 bulgings discs a stiffer suspension is no good. Skoda india realised that India is full of potholes a little late, thats why their earlier Octavia's had stiffer suspensions, the latest Octavia is a little soft, but its not soft enough for me. I can manage high speed on highways with softer suspension but I cant manage potholes with stiffer suspension, thats cuz I owned a BEAST for 10 yrs in the past i.e. Optra Magnum 😀
I’ll get the 1lt Virtus if I feel it’s enough
otherwise 1.5lt Virtus if pocket permits
otherwise settle with 1.5lt Slavia
what happened?
@@manikantan4809 Honda City happened.
lessgo@@aviroopdas400 imo its better option...comfort lane camera.
congrats bro@@aviroopdas400
Super ji
Want sporty drive in virtus
Vento pro max vs baby Octavia. My choice is baby Octavia.(1.5 in Manual)
For scoda service centre is very less compared with volks wagon
I have test driven slavia was really impressed but the interior fit and finish was really bad looks very cheap and plasticy
apun ko to bs Virtus chaiye jldi se
Don't compare plz, slavia does not provide head room at rear seat for 5.6 foot person and knee position is not good in both front and rear seat, it broke all my expectations. I'm 6 foot exactly, forget Slavia 🤣 that's how it is
Virtus body with Skoda steering 🫰
Sedan club is definitely better than the unreal fake Compact SUV trend in India 🔥🔥🔥🔥
VW virtus gt is best ✨💫
Slavia looks way better..
Virtus looks great but with just 110 PS it's definitely a deal breaker when compared to Slavia's 150 PS.
The top varient of vitrus give 150 bhp and 250 Nm of torque
@@mohammedafreen3583 Please check the official website. It says 110 PS not 150 PS
Chill buddy the GT line will have 150 PS
Fuck it.. Am getting the Slavia anyway
Vw design looks outdated. Slavia looks premium and sporty
Just to Thrash the King Of the Segment VW Group had to Launch Two Cars with Different Logos 😁😁😁😁 Japanese Engineering Rocks in Long Term Reliability 😊❤️
Price is the key point, it should be same as Slavia but not more than
In Short same cars with cosmetics differences just like the 2 kia - hyundai twins.
The host over exaggerates is so much.As if they're completely different
Vw looks plain Jane. The design on the front looks very outdated.
Give me Virtus any day. I love Skoda (I own a 1.6 petrol Rapid and have gone all over South India with it). But in the case of Slavia, that highly aggressive looking front grille spoilt it for me. It looks too loud. Whereas the front grille of Virtus makes it look understated yet powerful. And then, I heard that Virtus 1.5 GT in sport mode. Vrooom, vrooom, man! That floored me!
tamil aa?
Slavia is good but virtus is better
Virtus is the best
Go. For. Slavia
I personally like VW
Give more screentime to cars than yourself bro
Jeez. What’s the world come to? Colour matched cabin highlights, ambient lighting blah blah blah. Between the 2, I’d simply go with the Slavia anyway just about on grounds of being simple enough inside out with lesser flashy stuff.
How much did they pay for this ad ?
Virtus will win the battle. Poor slavia
What a car virtus is classs !!!! Slavia is not sporty as virtus
We want speed ✨️✨️✨️
Vw has polo hangover...
High cost of maintenance and even pricing
I think 10 lakhs are more then enough for car coz any way life time of these cars are not more then 10 - 15 years as per govt norms they will be scraped any way no one will use more then 10 years normally i would prefer under 10 lakhs budget car with low maintenance offcourse but not an electric car it's wasting time for charging is there anything like that that will be my car
I will prefer virtus
VW Virtus without manual transmission..most potential buyers will not be interested..
No any cars is like civic
Its identical
Its good to have a art of speaking but we are not fools sitting out here fella as u think so
Slavia anyday
volkSWAGen is always 🔥for now and for alwayzzz!!!
20 LPA is too high for sedan
Thanks for the information.
It’s not “a” 8-speaker system, it’s “an” 8-speaker system! At least when you are SCRIPTED, be grammatically correct!
Abey angrez ki aulab jyada grammer na jhad.
And you're a jerk for expecting grammar lessons from an automotive channel😂😂😂😂
😂
fn weirdo
Bro dono hi flop hogi kyuki company ek main cheej bhul rhi h ya dhyan nhi Dena chahte ki ev era h y ev ki jagah petrol or diesel k piche ab koi bewakuf hi bhagega kyuki yeh dono hi limited source h Ane wale 2045 m itna shortage ayega tab ev ki rate bad jayegi is s acha h abhi invest Karo
Chutiya hyu kya , who gives a fu k about petrol when buying 1.5
Maeee! VW's paid content
Is there any unknown fact said? Just cooking up a video without any real content 😤
I think salvia is more better than vw
